Over First World War (War Front) and Sea Streak (Sea Wizard).

Yet another SH for that small New Jersey sire in the latter and I think the former has a cool name.

Drum Roll Please Tops Small Field in Jerome

In action from Meydan, the 3yo Flameaway colt, Ma Yetal, won the UAE Two Thousand Guineas Trial. Bred by John Oxley out of the Tapit mare, Delightful Melody, this colt may have a bright future. I'm really happy to see Flameaway (Scat Daddy) offspring doing well.

Drum Roll Please won the Jerome, nice and easy. Love his pedigree, by Hard Spun, out of MSW Imply, 4th dam is Holy Bull’s dam, Sharon Brown.

I haven't watched the Jerome replay yet, but a time of 1:41.91 for a mile is slow. The track must have been less than good.

Tocayo [Always Dreaming x Spooky Tooth by Ghostzapper] upsets the Dania Beach S. at 13-1 over Agate Road [Quality Road x Yellow Agate]

Muth won the San Vicente

The DRF article said the final quarter mile was run in 27 seconds.

That's Standardbred speed

Haha. Wow, didn’t see that. Here’s a quote: It was hard to read the fractions," Cox said. "No one is going to set a record today on that track."

He kind of just galloped out there. I mean, Aqueduct isn’t Santa Anita…

I didn't watch a lot of the card from Aqueduct today, but the time I tuned in, it was snowing there. Don't think the white stuff makes any track faster.

Muth.

I am convinced he’s not a 10-furlong horsey, but time will tell.

What makes you hold that opinion? Genuinely curious.

Muth - 91 SF
Drum Roll Please - 80 SF
Tocayo - 78 SF

Crimson Light looked like the real deal in his career debut in the Aqueduct 4th. Hitting and trying to jump the rail and no being insight until the turn and not in sight half way through the stretch to get up by a nose.
